About
ElBanquos 1D Pong is a one-dimensional Pong implementation for Arduino, displayed on a Neopixel LED strip or ring. The author built it by combining ideas collected from multiple existing 1D Pong projects, including gimmicks like power pills, labyrinths, and barriers or extra lives. The MK1 prototype — a 12-pixel ring with smooth movement implemented via 16-bit integer arithmetic — is complete; a planned MK2 would extend it to a longer pixel strip.
Getting started
This isn't a downloadable game — it's a physical build. Playing it requires assembling the Arduino and Neopixel hardware following the project's own hardware documentation and game-instructions pages.
Known limitations
- hardware: Smooth movement implementation is challenging with 16-bit integer arithmetic on the Arduino platform.
